General features
The system is ideal for enclosed spaces where the
formwork superstructure can rest up against walls on 9720-202-01
all sides.
Horizontal forces at exposed slab-edges, downturned
beams or steps in ceiling slabs must be restrained by
bracing or tie-backs.
General advantages of Dokaflex:
▪ infill zones are managed within the system, making it
easy to adapt to walls and columns
▪ for shoring heights of up to 5.50 m
▪ any type of form-facing can be used

▪ For increased stability, in larger rooms, the

When doing this, provide suitable bracing to

Secondary-beam stabilisers
The secondary-beam stabiliser can be used to prevent
formwork beams from tilting while being sheeted out.
98039-217-01 98039-217-02
Advantages:
▪ Special claws to prevent slippage on the beam-
flange
▪ No work-platform scaffold needed, as the stabilisers
can be mounted/dismounted from ground level using
an Alu beam fork H20
▪ Needs only small commissioning quantities, as the
Secondary-beam stabilisers can be re-set in tandem
with the formwork erection cycle:
- approx. 20 Secondary-beam stabilisers 1
- approx. 10 Secondary-beam stabilisers 2
Note:
In certain special situations, (e.g. when forming inclined
floor-slabs), Secondary-beam stabilisers can also be
used for transferring horizontal loads.
For more information, please contact your Doka techni-
cian.
Assembly:
➤ Hang the Secondary-beam stabilisers into place with
